Welcome to Are We Witches?
A podcast for the witch-curious and the skeptical, hosted by two witches-in-training, Lisa Marmur and Sarah Drummond.
We’re two friends diving headfirst into the enchanting world of modern witchcraft for the very first time. Together, we’ll explore magical realms, learn how to charge crystals, brew a little mischief, and maybe even tell the future. We have no idea what we’re doing (yet), but we’re here to document the journey—warts and all.
Our quest will take us through the history of witchcraft, unpacking its feminist, divine, beautiful, and problematic aspects. By understanding how magic shaped the world, we hope to uncover where magic still thrives today.
If magic is real, we’re here to find it.
So, are we witches? Are you?
Join us every second Tuesday by the cauldron as we brew up some tea and see where the magic takes us.
We couldn’t do it without you. Because, after all, it takes a village to raise a witch.

In this latest magical check-in episode, Lisa and Sarah take the opportunity to discuss storytelling in the form of myth and folklore (hello again, Medea and Baba Yaga!), fidelity discourse, with much more added to their reading list; primarily No Friend to This House and Encountering Dragonfly.
The re-enchanted life continues with rainbow synchronicities, familiars, and a magic stick thrown to the River Thames*. Sarah and Lisa also enjoy a tarot spread based on the theme of creation, taken from the Tarot Vin workbook, contemplating the power of the Magician card paired with Cabernet Sauvignon.
What’s Up, Witches? episodes will pop into the feed every now and then as a way for our co-hosts to take stock of where they are on their witchy journey.
